Cargo Centre Accra, Ghana

Accra
This below grade carpark (basement), beneath the 10,000 m2 office block was waterproofed using Xypex Concentrate and Modified. The above grade joints, in the cargo area, were sealed and made watertight with Xypex FCM 80 and Patch’n Plug. Spray applied bitumen was also considered for this project. However, unlike spray applied bitumen, no final finish was required over the Xypex treated concrete surfaces. This led to large project cost savings and in addition, two months of construction time was saved by choosing Xypex products. Xypex was previously used on the Bank of Ghana Cash Processing Center by the same construction firm “EnergoProjekt”. This repetition demonstrates their confidence in Xypex products.

The Gallery

Accra
The Gallery is a Clifton Homes development located in the heart of Accra, Ghana.
Xypex products were chosen to waterproof and protect the new residential complex
based on past successful projects with the Project Manager and Engineer. It was
essential that both waterproofing and durability were factored into the design due
to areas with extreme hydrostatic pressure. Xypex C-1000 NF, Concentrate,
Modified and Patch’n Plug were used throughout the two levels below grade
parking garage and the roof decks with swimming pools including underground
water tank and planters.
The total application was over 28,000 square meters.
